AVOID THESE 9 EPOXY POUR MISTAKES

I've watched quite a few videos on this topic and this is the best. Extra tip - put the resin and hardener bottles into warm water for a few minutes prior to mixing, this greatly reduces bubbles forming!

RE-Runs Really!

Isn't this just all reused footage? If you guys needed a break why didn't you just say so?

Something is wrong . The last three are rehash of the kitchen build. Maybe it's just a experiment of how many video's can be made out of the same footage.

Where have you guys been now you're showing us the same stuff?☹

My first epoxy pour ended with me gluing my rolling work bench to the floor. My second epoxy pour was filling the floor to patch the damaged plywood that resulted from freeing the work bench.

Hi guys, I like you and your videos. But am I the only one who finds the last two videos strange? Nothing new, just summaries and time-lapse, but no more current innovations? Come on people, what's wrong with you? If something has happened, just say it. If you need a break, everyone will understand that. However, I only wish you the best and that whatever is going on won't break you.

I’ve watched a dozen videos and this was by far the best.

This was super helpful, thank you! I'm new to epoxy too and am kind of nervous to use it on my projects. But I'm very glad I watched this before I started!

You could also use sanding sealer .spray it onto the your surface sealing the wood and you would have no problem with dry spots on your first coat of epoxy.

Your flood coat would have been easier if you put masking tape on the edge to create a barrier. This stops the epoxy from flowing over the edge, and you will not need to scavenge the material. Use your torch to pop bubbles and when your happy with the surface. You pull your tape and the epoxy will flow off the edge. Spread the overflow on the edge to get full coverage. The rest will take care of itself.

Good for you both. You deserve so much credit for building your own home. Great effort.

Thanks for the video. I would love to see more detail on how you got the matte finish.

I always wondered how the epoxy holds up over time. It's really pretty when its new. Looks like you did this video 3 years ago, how is it looking today?

Talk about timing. After watching your videos about building the butcher block, I decided to do the same thing for my kitchen. It turned out awesome. I have not done the epoxy yet; will happen in a couple days. I'm glad you shared this video just in time for my project. Thank you so much.

So same footage for the last three vidoes. Why bother?

The top looks great, no doubt about that. I didn't see if you epoxied the bottom side though, if not, wouldn't you be afraid of the wood expanding and contracting and eventually cracking the epoxy? I don't know, never worked with any of this before, so I'm just asking a question.

I’m preparing to put epoxy resin on a round dining table and three leaves that I’ve just built. Of all the videos on this topic, this one appears to be the best. I’m very worried about keeping the inside edges of the table and leaves clean and the use of packing tape looks to Ephesus a great solution. How long should I wait to remove it? Also, should I remove the tape after the seal coat and re-apply it for the flood coat or simply wait until both coats are on? I’m concerned that when I go to remove the tape it will break off instead of the epoxy.

I am looking at doing a art piece resin pour with pigments on a piece of oak bench top I brought to be my new desk, I am not a new comer to resin pour, I have done several art projects and every one I have had to sand the underside because I used masking tape. As so many tutorials have recommended, yours is the first video I have seen that advises to you clear packing take and shows how much easier this makes life. THANK YOU! fyi its genius.

After watching this, I'm guessing you will opt for concrete countertops upstairs?
